Climate Roadmap

In May 2014, as part of Oxfam’s Behind the Brands campaign, hundreds of thousands of people joined the call for General Mills and Kellogg to step off the sidelines and do more to combat climate change – both in their own supply chains and through their influence with other industries and governments.

After two months of public pressure General Mills and then Kellogg did what you asked by taking a strong stand for climate action. The companies agreed to implement industry-leading measures to cut greenhouse gas emissions from its supply chains and press for meaningful political action to address climate change.

This roadmap shows how both companies' commitment should become reality. As General Mills and Kellogg move from promises to action we’ll update this page to show progress.
